The School Bullies

The School Bullies By Elton Camp When I was a child, we had a few of these Tough, strong boys who did as they please “You nerd, give your lunch money to me. Refuse and you know what the result will be.” Any resistance was likely to bring a black eye, It usually was wiser to give in and not even try. The bully was a coward and inwardly insecure Really serious harm, nobody actually need fear School bullies today are of a far different sort They work in groups and to other tactics resort By the hurtful things that they now have to say They will take the victim’s self-respect all away They continue to ridicule and the person to deride So much that some of them have committed suicide To basic human decency they’ve become betrayers And, in actual fact, have transformed into manslayers
